This show covers The DVD sync, Hobbit fire marshal, P1 parking-lot watch party, Headphones die on air.

What happened, in order

  1. The DVD sync

    Mikey counted listeners into The Fellowship of the Ring, explained that subtitles had reversed his initial dislike of the movie, and heard Eddie admit he had seen it more than 20 times.

  2. Hobbit fire marshal

    After identifying one of Peter Jackson's children among the hobbits, the group turned the indoor firework scene into an argument about fire codes and whether Hobbiton had become an episode of Jackass.

  3. P1 parking-lot watch party

    Mikey relayed his wife's report that P1 listeners were watching from the parking lot on their car stereos while the room compared the wizard duel to Magneto fighting Count Dooku.

  4. Headphones die on air

    A headphone console failed during the broadcast, prompting an anxious check that listeners could still hear before the crew fixed it and joked that they had never left the air.

  5. Skye backs Arwen

    Skye defended Arwen as a capable woman, the others called the rescue a horse race, and the room argued over whether Frodo had died or would still be saved.

  6. Midnight endurance crisis

    At midnight the hosts realized the 28-hour marathon still had ten hours to go and seriously joked about renaming it the 20-hour or even 19-hour show.

  7. The sleeping-coworker roll call

    The exhausted crew tried to locate Sean, confirmed Bobby Colonel was asleep, and established that Ashley was still awake doing behind-the-scenes work.

  8. Boston Rob brings a date

    In the middle of the Balrog confrontation, Boston Rob arrived with a woman and proudly told the incredulous room that he always had something in the works.

  9. Is Galadriel evil?

    Mikey recalled arguing with his wife that Galadriel seemed evil when tempted by the ring, while the others countered that Gandalf had rejected it for the same reason.

  10. Boromir as bad boyfriend

    The hosts reframed Boromir's attempt to take the ring from Frodo as an abusive relationship, mocking his scare tactics and urging Frodo not to take him back.

  11. Movie one complete

    As the film ended, the crew joked that Middle-earth had not actually been saved, then returned to the studio for calls and a regroup while Eddie announced an urgent bathroom break.
